The 2021 Syrah en Chamberlin Vineyard displays a firm ruby hue with a magenta core, revealing hints of garnet at the rim. This medium-bodied wine offers a smoky, meaty profile with a broad structure and ripe, round tannins. Complex flavors, including bacon fat, spiced plum compote and savory umami essence, unfold on the palate. The finish is long and spicy, making it highly food friendly. This has me daydreaming about fire-roasted lamb chops. The wine aged for 18 months, with 15% to 20% new French oak contributing to its depth and complexity. 4,704 bottles were produced.
If you love black fruit,
the En Chamberlin will steal your heart with its
aroma of sweet Ponca blackberries. Following the
Poncas are aromas of violets and honey-like red
clover. There are more blackberries on the palate to
accompany dark chocolate, nutmeg and black tea.
Silky tannins and an elegant texture await. —
A distinctive and deeply structured Syrah, bursting with blueberry and raspberry flavors highlighted by bacon fat, licorice and crushed stone as this builds richness toward big but polished tannins. Drink now through 2033.
One of the more black and blue-fruited Syrahs in the lineup in 2021, the 2021 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard is deep ruby/plum-hued and offers a beautiful perfume of ground pepper, liquid violets, crushed stone, and bouquet garni. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, and ripe, polished tannins. It has a little bit of Cayuse funk, but this is a pure, focused, impressive Syrah that will benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar.
